In my last blog, I talked about how I monetized one single blog 15 different ways. And you might think to yourself, “Well that is all well and good, but if I am going to put that much time into blogging, how much money can I expect to make?
Let me show you.
The average rate for click through rate (or CTR) in North America for in-text advertising ranges from 0.1% to 0.25%, making the average fall somewhere around the 0.175% range. That’s the number I am going to use for this example. Thankfully, the number of generated sales for each click through is around 50% -- for those of you using a shared sales platform.
Based on these numbers, and the 15 for sure ways we know work, let’s look at some numbers. Now, at first, they aren’t going to be horribly exciting…but stick with me, because it adds up a lot faster than you might think.
Blog subscribers: 1,000
Amazon:
4% commission
Average sale: $12.99
Average commission: $0.51
Click through and commission breakdown:
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (sales) = 8.75 sales x $0.51 = $4.46
Commission Junction:
Average $0.10 per click through
Click through commission break down:
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) x $0.10 each = $1.75
Share a Sale:
Average sale: $50
Average commission: 30%
Average commission: $15.00
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (sales) = 8.75 sales x $15 = $131.25
Project Payday
Per lead: $1.25
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (leads) = 8.75 leads x $1.25 = $10.94
Ebates:
Pay per lead: $5.00
Bonus per lead: $5.00
Total per lead: $10.00
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (leads) = 8.75 leads x $10 = $87.50
Inbox Dollars
Pay per lead: $1
Bonus: $5
Total per lead: $6
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (leads) = 8.75 leads x $6 = $52.50
Clixsense:
This one is challenging, as there are so any variables, but the average on this site for someone who has 1,000 subscribers is around $50.
Cash Crate:
Same as Clixsense, as you are earning a portion of their participation on the site, round about $50 a month.
Infolinks:
Pay per click: $0.02
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) x $0.02 each = $0.35
Chitika:
Pay per click: $0.02
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) x $0.02 each = $0.35
Personal sales:
Average sale: $10
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (sales) = 8.75 sales x $10 = $87.50
E-book sales:
Average price: $2.99
Average commission: $2.09
1,000 x 0.175% = 17.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (sales) = 8.75 sales x $2.09 = $18.28
Let’s add it all up:
$4.46 +
$1.75 +
$131.25 +
$10.94 +
$87.50 +
$52.50 +
$50.00 +
$50.00 +
$0.35 +
$0.35 +
$87.50 +
$18.28 =
$494.88 per month (on average) or $5,938 per year.
While that might not be enough to retire on, if you keep at it, you will grow your subscriber base as you go along.
So let’s say you have been blogging for a few months, and you have grown your subscriber list to 5,000. Let’s look at what that does to your totals:
5,000 x 0.175% = 87.5 CTs (click throughs) / 50% (sales) = 43.75 sales (or leads for each program)
What would that do to your bottom line?
Well, with Amazon, it would change it to: $22.31
With Commission Junction: $8.75
And With....
Share a Sale: $656.25
Project Payday: $54.69
Ebates: $437
Inbox Dollars: $262
Clixsense: $150
Cash Crate: $150
Infolinks: $1.75
Chitika: $1.75
Personal Sales: $437.50
E-book sales: $91.33
For a grand total of: $2,273.33
Getting better, right?
Now, here’s one more for you. This is all based ONLY on static advertising. It doesn’t take into account promotional blogs that you will post, nor does it account for the advertising revenue you will earn from your email campaigns – which are also monetized. I will do a blog on these separately as the click through rate for these is MUCH higher – it might even blow your mind, because that is where the money is.
Essentially, just by having a blog, and merely by driving 5,000 pieces of traffic to it, without having to be in your face, promotional or salesy, you are adding $27,297.26 a year to your personal income.
You just need to know how to do it, and how to get the traffic. We can help you with that.
